With the holidays fast approaching, many retail stores are looking to add temporary help.
At a Walmart store in Palm Desert, Calif., there may be more job openings than originally expected.
That’s because 22 employees of the store were arrested last week, charged in an embezzlement scheme that involved fraudulently loading gift cards, the Riverside County Sheriff’s Department said.
The alleged crimes took place over a two-week period in September, the Desert Sun reported.
